Writing the Body of your paper.
Using your outline
• The outline helps keep your mind focused on what you need to write.
• Each number and everything under it, is a paragraph.
• Each roman numeral should be at least a sentence.
• Each lower case “I” should be addressed within in the sentences.
Outline example
1. Nature of the workI. Job DescriptionII. Specific Knowledge for this job
i. Advancement Opportunitiesii. Emerging specialties
This job requires many responsibilities, such as, counting inventory, stocking shelves, carrying heavy boxes, being friendly to customers, and standing for long periods of time. The knowledge for this job is minimal. Mostly, you learn on the job and do not have to have any schooling before getting hired. Advancements in this type of work are possible if you work hard and learn quick. A specialty in this type of work would be working in only one department such as produce or the bakery.
Transition to the next number
• At the end of each paragraph, there should be a sentence that lets the reader know what topic is coming up next.
1. Nature of the workI. Job DescriptionII. Specific Knowledge for this job
i. Advancement Opportunitiesii. Emerging specialties
2. Working conditions
The next topic is “Working Conditions”
